Summary

Join Alex in the studio for a sit-down interview with Laverne Cox. Laverne dishes to Alex about meeting her boyfriend on Tinder and gives her input on the dating app scene. She hypes up all the Daddy Gang members still out there fighting the good fight looking for their perfect match and gives some great first date advice. Alex and Laverne discuss what wouldn’t get you a second date and how some things (like bad style) can get a pass. Laverne opens up about her traumatic past and how much bullying she endured in her childhood and college years. She shares stories for the first time and reflects on what she had to overcome to get to where she is today. Laverne gets real about loving yourself, accepting who you are, and why we should stop putting up with the bare minimum. Then, she and Alex talk about privilege, what it means and how it shows up in our daily lives. This episode is full of wisdom, important themes, and good girl talk… Enjoy!
